Hi, Rusty!
Ah, yes, I do know "The Hoff"!
Shades of "Bay Watch" very many moons ago!
I am afraid, however, that I did not recognise him, until you pointed it out...but I have since gone back to check......and yes, of course, you are right!
But No! I did not mean him! I thought that the other guy was Piers Morgan?
If not he, then his double?
No, I do not know the lady judge - her name rings no bells!
I liked Brenda Lee!

Hello Rusty and Elle,

I discovered Taylor quite a few months ago now! Thought you
knew about her Rusty, otherwise I would have sent the link.
She has extraordinary stage presence, and uses the whole
width of it! Great personality, but where will this take her
later? Is there a lot of scope in yodel-singing?

Freezing cold here too - minus 3C now.

This is another performance by Taylor - I think in the Finale?

hope it works

Hello, Elle!
Yes, that's Piers Morgan.
That is what I said.
The male judge who was not Piers Morgan was "The Hoff".
Is Hasselhoff the lad who is very popular in Germany?
I do not know the lady either.
Maybe a retired singer?

Hello, Pigale!
Thank you for the clip of Taylor!
Was she in the final with Darcy Lynne, I wonder?
And what a rude person Piers Morgan is.
Very rude to Brandy Norwood, I thought!
I hope young Taylor has a good career.
The Hoff was very encouraging towards her, anyway!
PS.
I emailed Christy at the Loch (as she requested me to do) to let her know there is no "live stream" again.
She is going to get IT folk to look at the servers (no idea what they are!) on Monday or as soon as she can.

Hello Rusty,

Yes, and I too emailed on the normal 'get in touch with us' channel
and mentioned webcams were not working - so we'll see!

I think Taylor does have a career ahead of her so long as she does
not simply yodel - she has a great voice, tremendous star
quality and presence on stage, and something rather humoristic
about her too; I don't think she can keep still very long!

Hello, Pigale!
Taylor has a very natural "niceness" about her.
I agree about the yodelling.
Be interesting to see where her career leads her.

Maybe get the webcams fixed tomorrow, hopefully.
Meanwhile, this is a nice clip of the ospreys at Loch Arkaig. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/support-us/support-an-appeal/arkaig-pinewoods/wildlife/osprey-cam/

Hi, Rusty!
Sorry, we were at cross purposes!
I thought you were telling me that it wasn't Piers Morgan, but the Hoff!
I am sorted now!
I don't know much about David Hasselhoff ? but I had thought he was American?
He must be in his mid to late sixties now?
I have Googled Brandy Norwood.
Apparently she is known simply as "Brandy".......... and is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress.
She has certainly never crossed my horizons!


Now back to Taylor Ware.....seemingly she is now 23 and an actress!
She has starred in several films.......there is quite a lot about her on Wikipedia.

Yes, another good link.....thank you, Pigale!

Hello, Elle!
I thought you were mixed up!
Maybe I was not clear about who I meant?
I remember reading about an American (I think) who was very popular in Germany.
I thought it was The Hoff, but I'm probably wrong....again!
Brandy is new to me, too.
Piers Morgan was very ill-mannered to her, I thought.
I am pleased to hear Taylor is a success!
I'll have to read about her tomorrow.
2C here, not too bad at all!

Great link to the Ospreys Rusty!

I shall investigate Taylor's whereabouts further tomorrow -
did not realise she was that (!) old Elle - obviously the AGT
she was in was a few years ago!

Going to bed - 1.15am here! Not surprising I am no early riser!
